Older doctors were literally taught that black women have a higher pain tolerance. This in part originated from an early gynecologist doing experiments on black women slaves without bothering to give them any anesthetics. His justification for it was basically that they could handle the pain, and there are doctors practicing medicine today that still belive it.

I had a co-worker, in a different office than me, who had two of the same shirt. She decided to wear only those two shirts to work until somebody said something. A little more than 3 weeks later and someone finally commented on it.

I see two approaches that you can take.

  1. instead of focusing on what you are taking away. Focus on what you can do with the money instead. Telling them that they can have a new TV with that money is a lot more motivation to say yes than taking something away.
  2. Do the scream test. Just cancel everything and wait for someone to scream about not having a services and resubscribe. Repeat every 6 months or so.

I HATE email

Reply in thread

In college one of my friends wanted to show how easy it was to get an email chain going. He was on the student council so he wrote up something about if it was forwarded enough we would get another day off for spring break, added some email headers to look like he got it through 5 other people, then sent it to everyone on the student council. This was at a school with over 10k students.

By the end of the next day everyone I knew had gotten the email at least healf dozen times. The day after that the school paper had a story letting people know that it wasn't true.

Yep, nobody lies on the internet.

The waffle maker that I have is one that makes 4 square waffles at once. So about half way between Belgian and Eggo. Probably the most important thing to remember to use cooking spray. If you forget the spray you'll end up with at least half of the egg stuck to the waffle maker. I just whisk the eggs in a bowl, with just salt and pepper. Though if you treat them like scrambled eggs and add water/milk/whatever you'll probably get better results.

Your primary Switch shouldn't need to do that, and it also would have done it if you didn't get the DLC. It is dumb that it basically requires internet access for all your additional Switches to operate, and it actually promotes you marking your travel switch as the primary device while the actual primary device sits at home where you always have internet access.
